Not too easy. Not too difficult.
Course Overview:
This Spanish course opened my eyes to not only learning an entirely different language, but also showed me how different two cultures can be. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to expand their knowledge in not only Spanish, but learnind how to adapt to new environments and somewhat difficult situations.
Course highlights:
The highlights of this course was not only learning Spanish, but I was able to learn it in so many different ways. Sometimes we had oral assignments, research assignments, group work, reading Spanish novels, or even just simply being put in improv situations and thinking of the top our head. I learned so many useful skills as in how to be a well rounded Spanish speaker rather than learning just vocabulary and grammar and sounding like a robot to a native speaker.
Hours per week:
6-8 hours
Advice for students:
I would advise any student taking this course to study and to be open minded. I was a very introverted student, so speaking in front of my classmates was quite intimidating. I was more comfortable just reading and writing Spanish. What I did not realize at the beginning of the course was that my teacher made us do all sorts of exercises to make us the best Spanish speakers we could be. Her goal was to make it easier for us to talk to native speakers, not just to be able to read or write a few words. She prepared us for real life situations.
